Description
The life of a minister is filled with countless joys and challenges as they experience being welcomed or rejected by those whom they attempt to serve. No minister better exemplifies the reality of this tension than the apostle Paul.
In this book, Dr. Samson Uytanlet explores the life of Paul through the lens of the apostle’s experience of being “unhomed” as presented in the book of Acts. Paul went from being a persecutor who caused other believers to be unhomed, to becoming a persecuted missionary and pastor himself. As a diaspora Jew, Paul experienced intense persecution and at other times experienced hospitality and being at-home with those he was serving throughout the various stages of his ministry. Uytanlet expertly highlights the apostle’s perseverance through difficulty until he became at-home with the Lord regardless of his circumstances. This biographical study provides scholars, ministers, and Christians living in diaspora with a companion who closely understands them on their journey to finding home.
